<p>Inhibitor of ABC transporters; oral bioenhancer for anti-cancer therapy</p>

<p>Adefovir is an antiviral acyclic nucleoside phosphonate (ANP) analogue that works by blocking reverse transcriptase. This drug is used to treat infections associated with Hepatitis B.</p>

<p>Selective and potent inhibitor of glucose transporter GLUT1 with IC50 of 2 nM. The compound limits glucose uptake and is able to block basal as well as stress-regulated glycolysis in ovarian cancer cells. It supresses proliferation, viability and tumorigenicity of ovarian cancer cells.</p>

<p>Amiodarone, a class III anti-arrhythmic agent is used to treat and prevent certain types of irregular heartbeats. It is a competitor for natural ligands of alpha and beta adrenergic receptors, muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, histamine H1 receptors, and serotonin 5HT2A/5HT2C receptors. Amiodarone has been shown to reduce the number of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias in patients with structural heart disease, and has been used to treat atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, and Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome. It has also been used in the prevention of myocardial infarcts due to its ability to modify blood pressure and maintain cardiac function. In addition, amiodarone inhibits prostaglandin synthesis by inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzymes. This prevents inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract and reduces bowel disease symptoms such as cramping or diarrhoea.<br>Amiodarone HCl is part of our Bio-X ™ Range.

<p>Palonosetron is a selective serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonist. It is an antinauseant and antiemetic agent that has been shown to be effective in preventing nausea and vomiting induced by cancer chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or surgery. By directly inhibiting serotonin activity in the region postrema and the chemoreceptor trigger zone, the inhibition of 5-HT3 receptors also prevents the visceral afferent stimulation of the vomiting center.</p>

<p>SIRT1 activator</p>

<p>Inhibits MEK1 and MEK2 kinases; targeted therapy for melanoma</p>

<p>L-α-phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate is a crucial phospholipid, acting predominantly within cellular membranes. It is primarily sourced from the phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol by specific kinases within the phosphatidylinositol pathway. This lipid is integral to the modulation of various cellular signaling cascades, particularly interacting with proteins that contain pleckstrin homology (PH) domains, thereby influencing membrane trafficking, cytoskeletal rearrangement, and signal transduction.</p>

<p>Funalenone is a polyketide-based secondary metabolite, which is synthesized by various fungal species, particularly those belonging to the genus Penicillium. Its origin lies in the diverse biosynthetic pathways of filamentous fungi that produce an array of bioactive compounds. Funalenone operates through intricate biochemical interactions, potentially leveraging its electrophilic centers to react with nucleophilic biomolecules, thereby modifying biological pathways.</p>

<p>Potent and selective inhibitor of polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), by binding to the K27me3-pocket of the regulatory EED subunit. Inhibits H3K27 methylation in histone 3. Has anti-tumor activity in murine xenograft models. Synergistic with EZH2 inhibitor against cancer cell growth.</p>

<p>Rensocatib is a reversible inhibitor of DPP-1, also known as cathepsin C, which is a peptidase involved in the activation of neutrophil, an elastase-like serine protease in lung tissue. Brensocatib is an oral drug used to treat infections of the airways (lungs) that are characterised by a permanent enlargement and presenting symptoms such as, coughing and greater mucus production (bronchiectasis). Alternative names of brensocatib are INS-1007 and AZD7986.</p>

<p>SHP099 is an allosteric inhibitor of the SHP2 protein, which is derived from targeted small-molecule drug development. Its mode of action involves binding to SHP2 in a region distinct from the catalytic site, thereby stabilizing the protein in its auto-inhibited conformation and preventing activation. This disrupts downstream signaling pathways mediated by SHP2, a protein-tyrosine phosphatase essential in promoting oncogenic signaling through the RAS/MAPK pathway.</p>

<p>Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to reduce inflammation, relieve pain and reduce fever. The mechanism of action of ibuprofen has not been fully elucidated, but it may be due to inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase and thus decreasing the synthesis of prostaglandins allowing a reduction of pain and inflammation.</p>

<p>Pomalidomide is an immunomodulatory agent that inhibits transcriptional regulation by interacting with the pomalidomide-binding protein, which prevents its interaction with RNA polymerase II and thereby prevents DNA transcription. The study with U266 cells demonstrated that pomalidomide targets CRBN, part of an E3 ligase complex, and inhibits its autoubiquinitation and supresses a critical gene (IRF4, interferon regulatory factor 4) for myeloma cell growth with concentrations up to 10 μM. In vitro assays have shown that pomalidomide has inhibitory effects on cell signaling pathways, such as the NF-κB pathway. Pomalidomide also decreases the production of proinflammatory cytokines, such as TNFα and IL-1β, by inhibiting their synthesis or their release from activated monocytes. Recently, the promoting effect of pomalidomide, as its analog lenalidomide, on erythropoiesis (production of red blood cells) has been investigated, demonstrating positive results for its use as a potential new therapy agent for β-hemoglobinopathies.<br>Pomalidomide is part of our Bio-X ™ Range. These products are aimed at life science researchers who need high quality ready to use products for assay development, screening or other R&amp;D work. With a solubility datasheet and convenient vials, all of our Bio-X ™ products are in stock across our global warehouses for rapid delivery and ease of use.</p>

<p>(R)-Phenylephrine is a non-selective α1-adrenoceptor agonist that can be used as a bronchodilator or vasopressor. The biological effects of this compound are due to its ability to cause relaxation of smooth muscle cells and increase blood pressure by stimulating alpha-adrenergic receptors in the body. Also, this drug is used to relieve nasal discomfort caused by colds and allergies and is used to relieve sinus congestion and pressure.</p>

<p>Clebopride is a dopamine antagonist drug that is used in the treatment of symptoms associated with gastrointestinal disorders. This drug is also used to treat nausea and vomiting. Clebopride blocks dopamine to allow an increase in the release of acetylcholine so that muscle movement in the digestive system is increased.</p>

<p>Antagonises CXCR4 selectively by blocking Ca2+ release (IC50 from 0.02 to 0.13 µM). Studied in SDF-1/CFXCR4-dependent functions in HIV, rheumatoid arthritis and breast cancer metastasis. Enhances mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and Hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) for re-populating hematopoietic progenitors for transplants in vivo and attenuates cocaine-induced locomotor activation.</p>

<p>Febuxostat is a non-purine xanthine oxidase inhibitor that is used for the treatment and management of hyperuricemia and chronic gouty arthritis. Febuxostat inhibits the uptake of uric acid from the blood into cells and thereby reduces its concentration in plasma. Additionally, this drug has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.</p>

<p>3-o-Methyldopa d3 is an isotopically labeled analog of 3-o-Methyldopa, which is a deuterated compound used primarily in biochemical and pharmacokinetic research. This compound is a synthetic derivative where three hydrogen atoms are replaced by deuterium, offering a stable and non-radioactive isotopic tracer. The source of 3-o-Methyldopa d3 is chemical synthesis, where precise isotopic labeling techniques are employed.</p>
